Chinese Pictorial Baotou Rug with Art Deco Style, Bai Niao Chao Feng Rug.This hand knotted wool antique Chinese Baotou rug features a
pictorial landscape scene with a variety of birds and botanical motifs spread
across an abrashed navy blue field. The legend depicted in this rug is known in
Mandarin as “Bai Niao Chao Feng,” which roughly translates to “a hundred birds
pay homage to the phoenix.” According to the legend, the phoenix was once an
ordinary bird that was very hard working, collecting food each day from morning
till night. Then, one year, a drought left the rest of the forest birds without
food until the phoenix shared its stored goods, giving something to eat to each
and every other bird. To thank the phoenix, the other birds each took a feather
from their body and assembled them into a beautiful coat, which they presented
to the phoenix. They also elected the phoenix king of all birds. From then on,
every year on the phoenix’s birthday, birds from all-over the world fly to
greet the phoenix and offer gratitude. Over time, this legend has become
associated with the notion that good leadership can bring prosperity to
everyone, as well as the idea that anyone can gain greatness and honor through
hard work and foresight. In this particular piece, the legend is represented by
two phoenixes surrounded by a variety of birds set among a beautiful
landscape of pine trees, parasol trees, plum flowers, and other botanical
motifs. The lovely main border features cartouches with a variety of animal
motifs—including rabbits, goats, dogs, and horses—set against a patchwork of
diamond lattices, scales, fretwork and tree motifs. The inner guard border
features an ancient fret Meander design called leiwen or “thunder pattern.”
This pattern interlaces the wan symbol, a Chinese character meaning “ten
thousand,” with a winding key design that symbolizes long life and never-ending
joy. The color palette is classically Chinese, composed of harmonizing blues,
creams, and grays, splashed with touches of pink for good measure. With its rich
symbolism, cultural significance, gorgeous scenery and Fine detailing, this
Chinese Baotou rug would bring a sense of opulence, history and tranquility to
